On the front line: quantitative virus dynamics in honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) colonies along a new expansion front of the parasite Varroa destructor.

PLoS Pathogens, 2014
Over the past fifty years, annual honeybee (Apis mellifera) colony losses have been steadily increasing worldwide. These losses have occurred in parallel with the global spread of the honeybee parasite Varroa destructor.

Meta-analysis of honey bee neurogenomic response links deformed wing virus type A to precocious behavioral maturation [PDF]

, 2020
Crop pollination by the western honey bee Apis mellifera is vital to agriculture but threatened by alarmingly high levels of colony mortality, especially in Europe and North America.

Chemosensing of honeybee parasite, Varroa destructor: Transcriptomic analysis [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
AbstractChemosensing is a primary sense in nature, however little is known about its mechanism in Chelicerata. As a model organism we used the mite Varroa destructor, a key parasite of honeybees. Here we describe a transcriptomic analysis of two physiological stages for the Varroa foreleg, the site of primary olfactory organ.

RNAi‐Based Pesticides: Genetic Innovations for Sustainable Crop Protection and One Health

Advanced Genetics, Volume 7, Issue 1, March 2026.
RNAi‐based pesticides offer precise, gene‐specific pest control using dsRNA to silence essential insect genes. Advanced delivery systems (nanoparticles, SIGS, HIGS) and multi‐omics‐driven target discovery enable effective, scalable, and environmentally safe crop protection, supporting biodiversity, human health, and One Health‐aligned sustainable ...

Stable genetic diversity despite parasite and pathogen spread in honey bee colonies [PDF]

, 2015
In the last decades, the rapid spread of diseases, such as varroosis and nosemosis, associated with massive honey bee colonies mortality around the world has significantly decreased the number and size of honey bee populations and possibly their genetic ...

Field efficacy of acaricides against Varroa destructor

PLOS ONE, 2017
Field trials were conducted in Northeast Spain (Aragón) to evaluate the effectiveness of two acaricides against Varroa destructor. These experiments took into account the season of the year, apiary, colony, and developmental state and strength of the colony. The acaricides used were a synthetic (amitraz, Apivar®) and a natural (formulated from Api Life

Varroa destructor: research avenues towards sustainable control [PDF]

Journal of Apicultural Research, 2012
SummaryPollination by honey bees plays a key role in the functioning of ecosystems and optimisation of agricultural yields. Severe honey bee colony losses worldwide have raised concerns about the sustainability of these pollination services. In many cases, bee mortality appears to be the product of many interacting factors, but there is a growing ...

The Vulnerability of New Zealand Forage Plants to Incursions by New Pests, Pathogens and Weeds, and the Case for Greater Protection

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.
